the site where the sword was discovered is almost useless to say when the sword came to the island. the place has been dug up salted with fake treasure and has had just about everything done to it by treasure hunters. this makes getting accurate archeological info from any find impossible..... I suggest any one wanting an interesting mystery to read up on the island when I was a kid oak island in nova Scotia captivated me with the idea of finding pirate treasure.
Oak island fascinates me too- I ended up writing a novel about it! Shopped it around ten years ago with no luck unfortunately. Centers around terrorism, the holy grail, oak island, and three boyhood friends.
